There are a number of ways that a tropical cyclone causes most of their deaths through flooding, both through torrential rain, and through driving the sea onto land, in what is called the storm surge. The rain can loosen soil, potentially resulting in deadly landslides. The winds themselves also create a threat, as they can topple trees and generate flying debris, both of which can be lethal when they hit people. Tropical cyclones also produce thunderstorms which carry the risk of severe wind gusts and tornadoes, though tornadoes of tropical origin are generally less dangerous than those from non-tropical systems.
Extratropical or mid-latitude cyclones, sometimes produce severe weather and tornado outbreaks, which include the violent tornadoes that result in the most tornado related deaths. Lightning from thunderstorms that these systems produce can also be deadly. Extratropical cyclones can also produce severe winter weather, including ice storms, blizzards, and extreme cold, which can kill though car accidents, blocking chimneys, trapping people and killing through hypothermia.
Both tropical and extratropical cyclones have also been known to sink ships.
What else can I help you with?
Do cyclones occur on the moon?
No, cyclones do not occur on the moon. Cyclones are large-scale rotating storms that are driven by temperature differences in the Earth's atmosphere, which the moon lacks due to its lack of atmosphere.
Can two cyclones happen at once?
Yes. Extratropical cyclones happen all the time, and at times the Atlantic Ocean has had as many as 5 tropical cyclones at the same time. Right now (August 18, 2010) there are two tropical cyclones in the Pacific: Tropical Storm Fernanda and Hurricane Greg
What country do you get cyclones?
Cyclones occur in various countries around the world, predominantly in regions with warm ocean waters like the Pacific Ocean (e.g., Philippines, Japan) and Indian Ocean (e.g., India, Australia). Cyclones are also known as hurricanes or typhoons in different regions, depending on where they form.
Are cyclones geological?
No, cyclones are not geological phenomena. Cyclones are atmospheric phenomena characterized by low pressure systems with rotating winds, often resulting in strong winds, heavy rain, and storm surge. Geology, on the other hand, is the study of Earth's physical structure, history, and the processes that shape it.
What are hurricanes called in other parts of the world?
In the Pacific they are called typhoons. Generically, hurricanes and typhoons are both tropical cyclones. A tropical cyclone is the generic term for a non-frontal, synoptic scale, low-pressure system over tropical or sub-tropical waters with organized convection (i.e. thunderstorm activity) and definite cyclonic surface wind circulation.
